My daughter has a strong interest in theoretical computer science, and she has just been admitted to several different universities as a freshman. She is just a bright student, not a genius, with a bit of research experience in cryptography and randomness stuff, and a semifinalist in a couple of national competitions. She intends to continue graduate study in theoretical CS, or a closely related subfield, after finishing her undergraduate degree.
Given her strong interest in eventual graduate study, what criteria should we take into account in choosing where to enroll as an undergraduate? How can we tell which undergrad programs best prepare their students for graduate school?
